How to spell magazine

What it means: A publication containing articles and illustrations.

In a sentence: I found a fun story about animals in the magazine. ▶

The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as magazin or magazene.

Same family: magazines, magazine publisher, magazine editor, magazine article, magazine subscription. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: Magazine comes from a French word that originally meant a storehouse or warehouse, from Arabic “makhzan” meaning ‘storehouse.’ Over time, the idea of a place that ‘stores’ things shifted to a publication that stores and presents articles, stories, and pictures.
